Hello lovely Friends

But with relaxing views like this, we have been enjoying it every step of the way.

We are parked in Lompoc, CA right now and sad to say there is no ocean view.

So we jump in our truck and find the closest beach to Lompoc,

which is Jalama Beach.

This beach did not disappoint.

I can't think of a better way to spend the day than

walking the beach collecting shells and trying to get photo's of Birds.

Look at this guy. It took me awhile to grab a shot of him.
I tried to look up what kind of bird this fella is and I came up with a Whimbrel.
He sure is fun to watch as he buries that beak into the sand looking for food.

Then at the end of the day stopping at the beach cafe and grabbing a burger.
Life is simply sweet my friends.

This week over at Song-ography the song is

Led Zeppelin's song,
"STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN"

A bit of a stretch but I have to say this was pretty heavenly.
Now only if they had a stairway here.

Linda, Your photos are so crisp and inviting. What fabulous conch shells you collected. The gull in flight and its shadow are perfectly captured. I'm enjoying your trip up through CA. (We might travel there in April/May to get out of the snow.)

After looking at all your beautiful photos, its for sure life is sweet for you my friend!! Such peaceful beauty is a real treat, and good food to top it off!! Love the shot of the horse too :) Be safe!!

I can feel the sand beneath my feet and the sea breeze in my face when I look at your pictures. I love shelling. It's always exciting to find all the cool treasures the sea has given up. Wonderful photos Linda. :-)
